Poor Aladdin. I really need a CRT.

Here's my screenshot using a cellphone

SNES 2-chip
BitfunX RGB->HDMI output (To BenQ 27" monitor - no upscaling/TV enhancement)

Is this great for all the SNES games?

[u/demunted → u/TehDonkey117]

Yes

What even is this? Filters?

That's usually how straight 240p composite video looks when it's connected directly to a modern TV.

Modern TVs were never really designed to properly process low-res analog AV signals like that.

This is how it should look with a proper external scaler and appropriate cables:

That's my 2-chip SNES on a 2010 Visio M220VA using a Retrotink 5X-Pro with an Insurrection Industries RGB SCART cable. Between that and the 5X with an HD Retrovision component video cable or an Insurrection Industries S-Video cable, it honestly couldn't look any better.

That’s what my Aladdin game looks like on my TV.

Get an adapter that doesnt use composite signal. NTSC SNES can do S-Video.

[u/TvTacosTakingNaps → u/Tricky_Tourist5691]

Thank you!

[u/Tricky_Tourist5691 → u/TvTacosTakingNaps]

Bitfunx has an adapter that supports S-Video. Though, I have an old model with a physical switch for the S-Video mode, not sure how this one works, as they claim its "automatic" and the switch is only for an aspect ratio toggle, for some reason?. https://www.bitfunxshop.com/products/bitfunx-720p-hdmi-compatible-adapter-s-video-sv-av-hdtv-converter-for-ntsc-pal-n64-snes-sfc-ngc-game-console-aspect-ratio-switch

2 chip SNES plus some trash from BitFunx.

Surprised you can even see Aladdin.

I’m new to playing snes since my childhood. I just recently got it from my parents house

Use integer scaling if you like squares

[u/randomhaus64]

What's your setup?

[u/KalynnCampbell]

Or just emulate a CRT and pass-thru your system’s video out.

Works especially great for Pixel Perfect Integer Scaling. The above game is close to 4:3 but not quite. Traditionally it would be stretched and scaled with fractions, but when you control the screen area, the bezel, overscan, you can make your own rules so the aspect ratio stays pixel perfect to the game, not the system or screen.

JJ & Jeff would be sweet on this emulator

[u/DavidinCT]

You need a scaler, that will sharpen that picture right up.....like a Retrotink....

[u/Puzzleheaded-Club502]

Just get a proper upscaler and it will be fine. I do have a 1chip with HD retro vision component cables and an ossc upscaler, but it looks amazing on modern displays.

[u/TehDonkey117 → u/Puzzleheaded-Club502]

You have a link to where you got yours? So it's back to normal ratios on the TV?

[u/Still-Minimum-7212]

You also need to play the superior Genesis version instead.
